The Innocent Hour

Welcome

Who reads mysteries? And why?

Devotees who love crime fiction! With 25+ subgenres, fans vary from lovers of cozies to hard-boiled PIs, police procedurals, thrillers, amateur sleuths—and the newest cross-genre. They are thrill by solving the puzzle. Unraveling the mystery. Feeling smart or shocked by the outcome. Being scared to death from the comfort of their chair by the fire. Thrilled by inserting themselves in the drama. Sad when it ends while hoping there will be a sequel.
